Our Story

Experience the grand exterior of 17 stories of Wisconsin limestone and Alabama black granite. Inside past the bas-relief brass elevator doors and the ornate iron grates beyond the escalator, the building welcomes you to its true brilliance. The marble walls and floors echo with the history of Miami’s elite as you enter the ballrooms. Turn your gaze upward at the intricately hand-painted cypress ceilings. The grandeur of this extraordinary location makes it the perfect venue for your special event.

Historic of Splendor

A historic and breathtaking landmark in Miami for over three quarters of a century, the Alfred I. duPont Building reflects the culture and designs of past eras that paves the way for future generations. The Art Deco style of the late 1920s to 1930s is prevalent throughout, from the granite and limestone aesthetics of the exterior to the delicately painted cypress ceiling and marble paneling of the interior. Step into the duPont building, and you walk in the footsteps of Florida’s historical elites into a wonderfully preserved and grandiose piece of history.

Un salón icónico en la ciudad de Miami se vistió de gala para celebrar la unión de Carol y JP.

El The Historic ALFRED I. DUPONT BUILDING fue el escenario que tuvimos para decorar esta preciosa boda.

El reto era grande… pero no le tememos a nada.

Con toques de color lila/morado, hicimos que las flores fueran protagonistas en cada mesa. Las velas aportaron un ambiente romántico y acogedor.

Disfrutamos enormemente esta boda, tanto que hasta nos queríamos quedar en la fiesta 😅

Es siempre una bendición por hacer los sueños realidad.
